Title contenders England and Denmark meeting again in Euro Group C

FILE - Serbia ’s Aleksandar Mitrovic reacts after the Euro 2024 group G qualifying soccer match between Serbia and Bulgaria at the Dubocica stadium in Leskovac, Serbia , Sunday, Nov. 19, 2023. Serbia and Slovenia will be hoping for their own fairytales after qualifying for the Euros for the first time in more than two decades.

England, a beaten finalist in 2021, aims to go one better and win its first trophy since the 1966 World Cup. Denmark was the other team. It was beaten in extra time by England in the 2021 semis. The Danes won Euro ’92 with one of the most improbable victories in sports. They failed to qualify for the finals but were given entry when war-torn Yugoslavia was banned.

Serbia and Slovenia will be hoping for their own fairytales after qualifying for the Euros for the first time in more than two decades.England manager Gareth Southgate has proved himself adept at negotiating tournament soccer having led them to the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2021.

A Serbia team blessed with firepower could surprise a few at its first Euros since 2000. Aleksandar Mitrovic has the quality to make an impact in Germany, just ask Cristiano Ronaldo. Mitrovic’s goals helped fire Al-Hilal to the Saudi Pro League title in May ahead of Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. The much-traveled forward was so impressive in his first year in Saudi Arabia — scoring 17 league goals — that Al-Hilal lifted the title even without the injured Neymar.
